Welcome, Anthony Rapp! — Page 256

I think that he was more shocked. It took a little while before he moved again.

I think it would take anyone by surprise.


*sigh* I'm going now, night all!

I know this is off-topic, but as I said before, I'm a newbie, and I've been catching up on this thread. And I stumbled on this in one of Anthony's posts:

""One question that I have heard from a few detractors over the many years is "Why don't they get a job and pay the Rent?" I know that this question does not have a simple answer. But, maybe with your wisdom you could provide a little insight."

Benny blindsides Roger and Mark with his demand for the back rent; he had been letting them live there rent free, since he didn't need their money, and they were friends, and he knew they were trying to get their work done. And Mark does wind up getting a job. Roger is more or less incapable of holding down a job in his condition, after holing himself up in his apartment in the wake of April's death and his HIV diagnosis. But the story is not meant to endorse any particular way of living; it's just trying to present honestly the struggles of these characters to make connections, to make ends meet. And the struggle to pay rent, especially for fledgling artists, is a real one, and perhaps Jonathan just wanted to paint a more extreme picture of that situation to make it all the more dramatic."

Question: Why did Mark and Roger turn down Benny's offer of free rent in the new studio? I'm sorry if this has been discussed already, but if you have a link to the discussion, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

Thanks, Fantabulous!! Man, I can't wait to see the movie.

So I went to see HP tonight finally ...sadly I wasn't really impressed. Scratch that, there were definitely cool moments in the film...but that's seemed like all it was. Cool moments. This one seemed to lack depth and all of the characters, including Harry, felt flat. Was it just me, or did their seem to be a lack of good dialogue? Maybe I would have enjoyed it more if I wasn't a lover of the books, I don't know -- but I mean, I loved the other films (1-3, especially 3) more.

ANYWAY, I then proceeded to sneak in to watch the second half of Rent for my...well, that would make it 3 1/2 times now. God, I can't believe I'm saying this but...::gulp::....I think I'm getting a little Rented out with the film. God, but I love it so! I still love watching every moment of it...but I think I'm just really looking forward to seeing it on Broadway again. I think I'm starting to take it as a sign that I'm not getting emotional with the movie at all. I didn't on Tuesday at the Symphony Space screening either...I used to come home from the Nederlander crying...but the movie just isn't doing that for me. I think I just need to wait a week or two before seeing it again, lol. Because even though I'm feeling slightly Rented out with the film, I still want to continue supporting it! The theater was fairly packed again tonight, surprising for a Sunday night 10:35 showing.

Alright that's all I got for tonight. Goodnight, everyone.

Last night, I had a dream...and it was about BWW...I think I spend too much time on here.

I think it's sad that the first thing I did this morning was to go on here. I need to go, or I'll miss school. O.O

I had a dream about BWW too! :-P
Wow, i just finished reading everything.. This thread turned into a book? That'd be great!
